The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Samsung Marine's bold move actually, to some extent, disrupted Chang Haonan's original schedule.

If potential public opinion risks like this are not nipped in the bud in the bud, it will be difficult to resolve once they ferment.

So, throughout late October, he was running around for this matter.

As a result, after finally settling the matter down, an even more outrageous incident was involved.

In short, although Chang Haonan had directly handed over the follow-up processing of the Aegis baseline 7.1 intelligence to Fu Youquan, just properly arranging the handover and liaison with Yin Zhongxian took up a lot of his time.

But on the other hand, the impact of this sudden incident is not entirely negative.

At least, Torch Group's popularity has been raised to a higher level than before.

Taking this opportunity, Chang Haonan also asked the publicity department to concentrate its efforts to create momentum for the upcoming 2.0 version of TORCH Multiphysics.

Especially in the field of computational fluid dynamics, which is currently the most stressful field.

Also due to the delay of Samsung Offshore, when competitor COMSOL released its version 2.5 with a huge performance improvement, Chang Haonan did not immediately participate in the full-scale testing of the software. The technical department led by Wei Yongming is now busy with Torch Group's own update plan, and it is obviously impossible to spare too many manpower.

In the end, we could only focus on the numerical calculation business department headed by Liu Hongbo, and try to do a few projects using the new version of COMSOL Multiphysics, in order to get a simple understanding of the current development level of our competitors.

This resulted in COMSOL promotion and advertising being almost everywhere in the computational fluid dynamics community during the last few days of September.

Although Torch Group’s current business volume and the number of reservations for TORCH Multiphysics 2.0 have not been significantly affected, as a leader in the industry, it certainly cannot remain indifferent.

……

When Liu Hongbo and Song Jingming found Chang Haonan, the latter was in the computer room of the Torch Laboratory, optimizing the image segmentation and target tracking algorithms of the Ocean No. 1 satellite.

In fact, "processing remote sensing data on the satellite side" is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the third decade of the 21st century.

With the current level of aerospace-grade hardware in the early 21st century, it is impossible to complete any complex computing processes.

Although according to the National Space Administration, this time we just need to show the idea and verify the technical feasibility, we can wait a few years for a truly functional satellite.

But Chang Haonan felt that there was still room for maneuver.

Because Ocean No. 1 is not an ordinary remote sensing satellite.

Its most core payload is an ocean surveillance system.

Since it is ocean "surveillance", it is naturally impossible to see everything.

Instead, stare at something important.

Therefore, in a single image, or a series of images, taken by Ocean 1, only a few specific target areas are of real interest to people.

Therefore, a more realistic approach is actually -

The image is segmented on the satellite side, the area where the target may exist is extracted, and then transmitted to the ground for image recognition, positioning, and even understanding.

In this way, the satellite-borne equipment does not need to bear too high a computing intensity, but it can greatly reduce the amount of data transmitted between the ground and the space, as well as the workload of subsequent ground data processing.

Kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only complete the technical verification task, but also allow Ocean No. 1 to play some functions.

It was originally expected that this work would start in the second half of October, but it was delayed for a while, so the progress was forced to be postponed for half a month.

Fortunately, Chang Haonan's schedule was already advanced enough, so it would not affect the launch window of Ocean No. 1.

Liu Hongbo and Song Jingming saw that their boss was busy and did not dare to disturb him immediately. Instead, they waited until Chang Haonan looked up from behind the monitor.

"Mr. Chang."

Song Jingming took two steps forward:

"We came here this time for COMSOL..."

He was only halfway through his words when Chang Haonan raised his hand to stop him:

"It's not convenient to talk about this in the computer room. Let's go upstairs and talk."

After saying this, he waited for a few seconds, and after confirming that the test data had been completely imported, he hit the Enter key.

Then he took off his lab coat and returned to the office in the main building with his two subordinates.

As usual, Chang Haonan listened to the technology-related questions first.

"For this trial, our numerical computing department selected a total of 9 people to participate. However, one of them was assigned to an important computing business in the middle of the trial, so he did not complete it. Including myself, the evaluations of the other 8 people have been sent to your email."

Liu Hongbo has now completely adapted to the feeling of being Chang Haonan's subordinate, and his address has smoothly changed to "Mr. Chang".

Don’t ask, the answer is it smells really good.

At this time, Chang Haonan also turned on the office computer, skillfully entered the mailbox, and immediately saw the email sent by Liu Hongbo.

Second place in your inbox.

Attached is a PDF file.

The size is not large.

Even with the Internet speed of 2001, it downloaded quickly.

Chang Haonan quickly looked at the computing environment and project introductions mentioned in the eight people's reports and frowned slightly:

"These tests...are quite mild..."

What he wanted to know most was how the other party would solve the problem of high computational weight in the calculation process of the viscoelastic constitutive equation.

Unfortunately, this was not covered in these tests.

Liu Hongbo also looked embarrassed at this time:

"Boss Chang, our numerical computing department is not specialized in testing. We can only use it as a tool during the project."

"Firstly, most of the projects we have are commissioned by companies and schools with insufficient levels, so the difficulty is not high."

"Besides, we still have to be responsible to Party A for the final calculation results, so even if we really encounter a more complicated or difficult problem, we dare not try it with unfamiliar software casually..."

"Ah... that's true."

Chang Haonan nodded slightly, then looked at the more detailed evaluation content at the back.

It must be admitted that for these relatively common CFD processes, COMSOL Multiphysics 2.5 has high computational efficiency and accuracy.

Especially when computer hardware performance is limited, it can even surpass TORCH Multiphysics in some projects.

This is the first time this has happened in the past few years.

"Our opponents are also making efforts..."

Chang Haonan sighed.

As an old developed country, if you push it hard enough, it will always come up with something.

Seeing that Liu Hongbo had no intention of continuing the topic, Song Jingming took out a printed "Promotion Plan" from his briefcase:

"Mr. Chang, the propaganda department's idea is that it is difficult to objectively reflect the efficiency of computing software through one or a few data points. If we use the Spring and Autumn style, it will be suspected of false propaganda, which will damage our own reputation in the long run."

“Therefore, the next promotion in the CFD field should focus on other aspects. For example, compared with competitors whose main users are universities and research institutions, our software is more proven in the commercial field. We can focus on products or projects that have the participation of TORCH Multiphysics and have a greater impact.”

"For example, we have already agreed with Ferrari... not the Ferrari that makes machine tools, but the Ferrari that we work with on racing cars, to hold an end-of-season open house in December, where we will design a special racing livery that includes elements of our company to celebrate their fourth consecutive constructors' championship."

On this timeline, Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship as early as 1998 and has never relinquished this honor since then.

The Torch Group's logo has always occupied the second most dazzling position on the side of its racing cars in the past four years.

In addition, Torch Group has also been involved to a considerable extent in the development of racing cars over the past three years through the Jinling Research Center.

All in all, it is indeed excellent promotional material.

Chang Haonan was relatively confident about the work Song Jingming was handling.

Since he was transferred to the Aviation Power Group, all non-technical daily work of the Torch Group has been presided over by the former.

There has been no major trouble in more than two years.

So, when Chang Haonan saw this plan, he felt a lot more relieved.

The brand effect is generally a weapon used by European and American companies to suppress Chinese companies.

But in numerical calculation, the situation is completely opposite.

Torch Group is definitely a golden brand.

Chang Haonan rubbed his swollen eyebrows with one hand, and prepared to close the browser page with the other hand.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the email that was ranked above Liu Yongbo.

According to the rules, that email should have been received a short time ago.

So he stopped and went back to his inbox.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the email was actually from Dassault.

There are actually a lot of interactions between the two companies, but not many of them can be conducted openly through email channels.

In fact, there is only the Falcon Z business jet project...

After clicking it, as expected, it was a design optimization report for the Falcon Z business jet.

It's not important content.

In fact, it is a group message sent to all responsible persons for backup purposes.

No need to even reply.

Therefore, Chang Haonan simply scrolled the email page to the bottom and had no intention of downloading the attachment.

However, one file in the attachment list caught his interest.

Strictly speaking, it is the extension of this file.

.

cmph

"hiss……"

Chang Haonan's eyelids twitched——

Since the .mph extension has been occupied by TORCH Multiphysics, the extension of similar products of COMSOL has to be set to .cmph...

in other words.

He seems to...

Backstabbed...
